Cherry and Pie

Cherry grew in the garden, basking in the sun,
Her beautiful sweet fruits were pleasing to the eye,
They shone brightly in the sun, like noble rubies.
Cherry stood like a bride waiting for her groom.

One day owners of the garden began to set table under tree,
They were expecting guests and wanted to dine outdoors.
The first to be placed on table was huge Pie on porcelain dish.
When the owners returned to the house,
Pie was left alone with Cherry.

"It's unusually good weather today," - Cherry said modestly.
"Yeah, not bad," - Pie puffed busily on the table.
"Some kind of festive dinner in nature? Will there be guests?"
"I don't know, I don't care," - Pie replied arrogantly.

"The most delicious Pie is Cherry Pie," - said Cherry.
"That's rather debatable statement, - Pie sneered disdainfully. -
Even if I had Cherry inside, I wouldn't be sure,
That me and her are perfect for each other."
"If you don't have Cherry inside, what then? Apples?"
"Meat! - announced Pie solemnly. - I have meat inside,
And there can be no better option, even dogs know this!"

"Oh, dogs?" - Cherry blushed to the tips of the leaves,
But she did not know what to answer,
So she just began to pray to the gods of nature.
Soon her prayers were heard,
And powerful gust of wind swept over the garden.
The wobbly garden table overturned,
And Pie on the dish fell to the ground.
The owners were carrying cutlery out of the house,
When there was a clang of broken porcelain.
Grandma's dish was shattered, and Pie fell to pieces.

"The guests will arrive soon, I won't have time
To make new stuffing! And there is no more meat!"
"Honey, no need to worry, I'll fry the sausages."
"But I promised our friends a pie!"
"You don't have to make a meat pie,
You can make it with mushrooms, or with cherry.
There is nothing better than cherry pie!
And cherry does not need to be specially prepared,
We just need to collect and wash it.
I'll bring a ladder from garage,
While you prepare new dough."

The owners went on business,
Cherry and Pie were left alone again.
"Remind, what kind of meat you had inside?"
"Damn you!" - groaned crushed Pie from under the table.

Cherry pretended not to notice,
And innocently stared at the sun,
Whistling the song "I Wanna Be Loved By You"
From the movie "Some Like It Hot".
